Intel Core Ultra 9 185H vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285H

Core Ultra 9 185H vs Core Ultra 9 285H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 9 185H beats the Core Ultra 9 285H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 9 285H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core Ultra 9 185H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 9 285H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 9 185H. Also, the Core Ultra 9 285H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 285H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core Ultra 9 185H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 185H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
